The Facts

  • Republican candidate former Pres. Donald Trump spoke from a garbage truck and wore a high vis safety vest in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday as he criticized comments made by Pres. Joe Biden during a video call on Tuesday night.Republican candidate former Pres. Donald Trump spoke from a garbage truck and wore an orange safety vest in Green Bay, Wis., on Wednesday in reference to comments Pres. Joe Biden made during a video call on Tuesday night.

  • Pres. Biden stated Tuesday that "the only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump's] supporters/supporter's." Since the comment, the Biden admin. has claimed the President spoke only of Tump rally comedian Tony Hinchcliffe (supporter's) who described Puerto Rico as an "island of garbage," rather than Republican voters (supporters).Biden said that "the only garbage [he] see[s] floating out there is [Trump's] [supporters/supporter's]," forcing the White House to claim that he referred only to Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian who described Puerto Rico as an "island of garbage" at a Trump rally, rather than supporters of the Republican candidate.

  • Trump has called Pres. Biden's comments a "disgrace," whilst later alleging at a rally in North Carolina that they are worse than comments made by then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she described Trump supporters as "deplorables."Trump said earlier at a rally in North Carolina that these remarks — which he called a "disgrace" — were worse than those made by then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 describing half of his supporters as "deplorables."


The Spin

Trump's garbage truck stunt was the perfect troll in response to Biden and his party's continued snobbery towards hardworking Americans who are fed up with the woke status quo. While the White House may try and pretend Pres. Biden did not mean what he said, the Democratic Party's unpatriotic and divisive rhetoric has been heard loud and clear by the American people.


In peak hypocrisy, Republicans who adamantly defended Hinchliffe's distasteful Puerto Rico comments are the first to jump on and twist Pres. Biden's words. Whilst the President remarks may well have been clumsy, they are nothing compared to the dangerous rhetoric Trump and his MAGA cult continue to spew against their fellow Americans when it suits them to do so.
